The Massachusetts Senate Republican Caucus today announced the launching of its new website, masssenate.com.

masssenate.com.
Senate Minority Leader Richard R. Tisei, R-Wakefield, said the site will offer a platform for Caucus members to promote their legislative and budgetary agenda, while keeping Massachusetts residents informed about the goings-on on Beacon Hill. Among the many issues currently highlighted on the site is the Caucus’ list of priorities for the Fiscal 2008 budget, which the Senate began debating this week.
“Our numbers may be small, but we want the public to know that we have a lot of good ideas for making the Commonwealth more affordable and competitive,” said Tisei. “We take our role as fiscal watchdogs very seriously, and will use the website to highlight these efforts and to shine a light on government waste and inefficiency.”
In addition to detailing the Caucus’ views on policy matters such as education funding, corporate taxes and pension reform, the Web site offers access to newspaper articles on issues that directly impact the residents of the Commonwealth. It also features useful links to voting information and the legislative process, along with photo galleries and a “Member’s Spotlight” showcasing the accomplishments of individual Caucus members.
Tisei said the website will be updated frequently to provide timely information on the Caucus’ agenda and the Legislature’s activities. He encourages visitors to the site to provide feedback by writing to: Massachusetts Senate Republican Caucus, P.O. Box 384, Lynnfield, Mass. 01940 or by e-mailing info@masssenate.com.
